The
Methodist Ministers’ Spouses Association (MMISPA) in collaboration with the Gender
and Family Life Office of the Accra Diocese has made a donation of assorted
items and unspecified amount of money to the Freedom House Foundation.
The
items which included bags of rice, cooking oil, beans, spaghetti, tomato paste,
beverages, detergents and other sanitary materials were presented by the
Methodist Bishop of Accra, the Rt Rev Emmanuel Borlabi Bortey at a short
ceremony held at the Bishop’s Manse at Dansoman on October 25, 2022. He was
assisted by the Accra Diocesan President of MMISPA, Sis Abigail Bortey and the
Accra Diocesan Coordinator for Gender and Family Life, Sis Rebecca Nettey.
The
Foundation which is based in Fianko, a community near Bawjiase in the
Awutu-Senya District of the Central Region provides care for orphans and needy children.
They also train widows and single parents in handy-works like beads-making and
soap-making and have a facility for shelter and education from Nursery to Class
4.
The
donation follows an earlier visit by the Rt Rev and Mrs Bortey to the
Foundation.
Receiving
the items on behalf of the Foundation, Bro Solomon Asante, the Secretary of the
Freedom House Foundation, expressed appreciation to MMISPA and the Gender and
Family Life Office for their kind gesture. “We say God bless you so much. We
are praying that may the Grace of God abound for you”, Bro Asante added. He was
accompanied by Bro Justice Appiah, a teacher with the Foundation.
Established
in 2018, the Foundation presently has 48 beneficiaries with the youngest being
5 months old and the oldest at age 21.
Bro
Asante appealed for more support for the Foundation in the form of learning
materials like books, pencils, erasers, slates, chalks as well as food items.
